Angle won't rule out W.H. bid

Visiting Iowa for a movie premiere, Nevada Republican Sharron Angle wouldn’t rule out a run for president.

“I’ll just say I have lots of options for the future, and I’m investigating all my options,” Angle said Wednesday when asked whether she is considering a bid for the White House, the Des Moines Register reported.

Angle, a tea party-backed candidate who lost to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) last year, was in Iowa for a showing of “The Genesis Code,” a Christian movie about balancing faith and science in contemporary America.

“It’s a controversial movie. We planned it that way,” said Rev. Jerry Zandstra, a Michigan minister who was involved in the production.

And, he said, it’s intended to drive political conversation heading into the 2012 presidential race. “We are in Iowa now. We are in New Hampshire tomorrow. That is intentional,” he said.

Though Angle isn’t planning to follow Zandstra to New Hampshire — she’s headed home to take care of her 88-year-old father, she said — she’s also gotten into the 2012 mix. In December, she launched the Patriot Caucus, a political action committee that plans to “organize a ground game across most battleground states for the 2012 election cycle,” including in Iowa and New Hampshire.
